Nước Mĩ có dễ tồn tại ko?

Tiền ko mua được mọi thứ, nhưng có tiền thì cuộc sống sẽ dễ thở hơn nhiều là cs ko có tiền.
Sometimes, I wonder, why should I fight this much for being in the States. But I love what i do so much to give everything up (research) and become an administrator.

Con đường đi làm

I have moved to Upton, NY almost 3 weeks now. I'm still learning the new system, the new lab, the new working routine, new city. I now have 2 full days weekend, holidays and for the last 3 weeks I learn that I now also enjoy the luxury of having "a snow day". Life changed quite a lot now. I went from a 75F in Phoenix to a less than 32F and after adding wind chill it becomes below 0F. Boys, that's cold. After living in Phoenix, my blood does get thinner. A lot of people asked me, why would I move from Phoenix to NY, I guess I do miss the snow sometimes. And I dont have a lot of chance to work at the national lab and this is one of that chance. Life is funny like that sometimes.

The life in Long island is quite expensive. Having running around trying to find a decent apartment to settle, I realized that most of apartment complex in long island are for retired people 55+ (unlike Phoenix). Most of cheap apartment ~1200 are in the basement or sublevel of other house, and most of that apartment are illegal apartment (Phoenix doesnt have basement and wisconsin people dont live in the basement). If I want decent apartment, i have to consider paying more than 1500$+. . And not a lot of apartment like that around. Hunting for a decent apartment is a nightmare. I'm lucky enough to have a roof over my head since I'm currently living on-site of the lab. But the cyber security has become ridiculous to my opinion. I cant get on facebook that often like I used to, they will block me if I get on it too long. If I used Youtube for too long, it cuts the internet. If I use google too much, it will block me from googling. On top of that, It's in the middle of nowhere. I'm not liking that idea so much. As much of the city girl as I am, I would like to be able to jump on the train to go to the city for a visit sometimes.
I like my new job, things just get really slow sometimes. Will see how I can survive this for next few years.
